Use Leopard Screen Sharing for Tech Support, Server Management, and Collaboration

In "Take Control of Screen Sharing in Leopard," networking guru Glenn Fleishman documents the new screen-sharing capabilities built into Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. With screen sharing, you control the mouse and keyboard of one computer while you sit at another computer across the room or on the other side of the world. It's great for providing remote tech support, for configuring and managing a remote server, and for collaborating on the same document in real time. Screen-sharing applications have been available for the Mac for many years, but Leopard makes screen sharing accessible to normal Mac users. Apple has piled on the options, enabling screen sharing via iChat, Bonjour, directly by entering an IP address, and Back to My Mac. All these choices bring complexity, and this book helps you figure out which type of screen sharing to use when, how to share screens with people who are not running Leopard and even with Windows users, and how to get the most out of Leopard's hidden Screen Sharing application. The book also includes troubleshooting information and assistance with configuring routers for screen sharing.

Questions you'll find answers to include:

  • How can I share the screen of a buddy via iChat?
  • What's the best way to use screen sharing to do remote tech support for my mother?
  • How do I start screen sharing on a local network with Bonjour?
  • Can I share the screen of another computer if I know only its IP address?
  • What smoke and mirrors is Apple using to make a Back to My Mac connection work?
  • How can I copy text from one computer to another while screen sharing?
  • Leopard's screen-sharing features aren't enough - what third-party software do you recommend?
  • How do I share screens with people using older versions of Mac OS X or Windows?
